BBC NEWS | England | Devon | Rural firms paying more for waste

Quote:

Businesses in a rural part of Devon are to pay more to have their waste collected than other urban companies.
South Hams District Council is changing from a fixed charge to a zoning system, because collecting waste from rural areas costs more in time and fuel. The council said urban business waste was cheaper to collect and by paying the same fees, those businesses were subsidising their rural counterparts

Everone should save their bags of rubbish until Saturday mornings and dump outside the townhall.

It would be quicker and very cheap for the collectors to gather it all up that way,wouldnt it?
